How safe is Czech Republic?

Safety at night:Safe

Czech Republic, especially cities like Prague, is generally safe to walk around at night. However, like any other place, it's better to stay in well-lit areas and avoid visiting deserted places or parks late at night. Public transport, even late at night, is considered safe. Instances of serious crime are relatively low. However, one should always remain alert for potential pickpockets in crowded places.

Public transportation:Very safe

Public transportation in the Czech Republic, including trams, buses, and the metro, are relatively safe for solo female travelers. They are generally well-maintained, punctual, and frequently used by locals and tourists alike. It is rare to encounter major safety issues. However, as with any public space, it's still necessary to stay vigilant about your belongings to minimise the risk of pickpocketing.

Street harassment:Low

In general, the Czech Republic is quite safe for solo female travelers and incidents of street harassment are relatively low. It's a progressive country with respectful citizens. However, usual precautions should be taken, especially during night or in less busy areas.

Petty crimes:Low

Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag-snatching do exist in the Czech Republic, especially in crowded areas and on public transport. However, the rate of these crimes is relatively low compared to many other European destinations. As a solo female traveler, it is always important to stay vigilant, keep your belongings secure, and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Prague, Group travel

It was a place where I felt safe, and it was very lively at night. Restaurants were common and easy to find, but reservations were necessary. It’s not an overly expensive city; there are affordable options. It was a one-day trip, so I didn’t stay overnight. Transportation was suitable for walking, but we used public transport to get to the castle.

The accommodation was pretty cheap, got an Airbnb for 4 people in the city center for like 40 euros per person for 2 nights. Pretty sweet deal huh? Food was also really cheap, and quite similar to Franconia’s cuisine. Prague is just beautiful, every street every corner. We did a pretty touristy trip and it was nice

I stayed 17 days at the Drunken Monkey hostel in Prague. It's clean, the Ned's are good, and the price is fair, but the kitchen is not equipped. The location is great! Prague is beautiful and safe, I love the location food

The city was so pretty and safe. The hotel and the restaurants were cheaper than other cities in Europe. At the hotel, we had free breakfast and I think it’s normal in Prague. I recommend too all of you to go to Prague and visit the beautiful city.

Visited Loket in February 2025. It's a very small town that works great for a trip that is a day or two long. The castle is awesome - you pay 7€ for and explore EVERYTHING, all the towers & dungeons included. Unfortunately the Museum of Secret Societies was closed at the time, but I'd visit that, too. Very cozy brightly colored houses, great price to entertainment ratio for the castle, very few people this time of year.

CHKO Kokořínsko - Máchův kraj, Couple travel

Really very very beautiful area. Beautiful forests, especially in autumn. Peaceful, not so many tourists, lots of castles, nice views, beautiful nature. As for safety, it's completely fine, we never met any suspicious people here. We must recommend the restaurant "Restaurace v Ráji" in the village "Ráj". Perhaps the best meal we've had so far. Large portions and surprisingly low price. Mácha Lake is very beautiful. You can swim here in the summer. We also recommend visiting the nearby ruins of Bezděz Castle. The hike is not difficult and it is a place everyone must visit. "Byl pozdní večer, první máj. První máj byl lásky čas. Hrdliččin zval ku lásce hlas, kde borový zaváněl háj." This is part of a poem in the original language by the writer Karel Hynek Mácha, who spent a lot of time in these regions and later IT was named here after him. This poem is very beautiful and it is our cultural treasure. Check it out.

Prague, Solo travel

I felt really safe in Prague. Even though it got dark very early, I enjoyed walking around the city alone in the evenings, even in the less touristy areas. It was super easy to get around using public transport. You just have to remember to stamp your ticket. (;

Soo first things first. Food was good 👍🏻 - But I hab to admit since the famous Christmas market was open, it was very crowded - in the city center you could not even walk through properly. - For my shopping queens 👸 is it a nice destination; not too expensive - watch out for tourist traps - some restaurants in the city center will charge a lot and the food is not even as good. - So if you do your research before the trip, you will have a good and also cultural enriching experience in Prague. 😇

I went to prague with 2 friends to see the christmas market. Its free so very Crowded and expensive (local restaurants not so expensive tho). Its a small city but if you have plenty things to do: see the Castel, try absinthery, hot wine, eat all the local stuff etc. You also have 2 Anonymous bar very Nice and different but you have to book earlier (at least a week). You can do everythingg walking. I felt very safe there. I never felt so cold in my whole life (-10°) so prepare yourself !!

You need to take care with the drunks and the drug addicts. The city is super safe, but some areas like the Main Train Station can be dangerous at night. Even inside of pubs, you need to take care with men: they are usually drunk and aggressive, and czech people don't understand much about respecting women's boundaries.

Even though I was 15 years old, I was walking alone through the city in the dark, and I felt mostly safe. The worst thing I've experienced was cat talking. I love to walk alone around the city in the evening, and I feel really safe during that.
